Thoughts on the Bailout

If instead of taking $850,000,000,000 [that’s a lot of zeros!] to spur the economy in the hopes of fixing things, we could, instead, take that $850,000,000,000 and invest it. Just invest it. Let it sit. Even if we only make 5%, that’s still $42,000,000,000 a year! In other words, we could literally create 425,000 jobs that pay $100,000 a year and NOT spend a dime!
